Poultry meat production, particularly broiler production, is one of the fastest-growing agricultural sectors worldwide. Rapid growth within the global population and increasing expenditure of protein foods are contributing to the demand for high-quality poultry meat. Broiler meat occupies an important position due to its rapid maturity, nutritional properties, low fat content, and high protein level. This study aims to investigate meat productivity, nutritional, biological value, along with the quality of broiler meat concerning the incorporation of Opoka into the main diet. For the research, two groups of broilers, each consisting of 100 chicks, were formed at one day of age. These chicks were hatched from eggs of the Ross-308 breed. The experiment lasted for 42 days. Broilers of group 2 were supplemented with 20% Opoka to the main diet. Opoka was implemented in the broilers nutrition from the third day of life until slaughter. The incorporation of Opoka into the feeding regimen has resulted in increased live weight and carcass weight of broilers, as well as enhancements in the composition of vitamins, fatty acids, minerals, amino acids, chemical formulation, overall nutritional value of meat of broiler. A high survival rate of birds was detected in group 2 over the 42-day growth period. The use of Opoka positively influences the quality of broiler meat and enhances its nutritional value. The results of this research can be applied in the development of balanced feeding regimens, highlighting the relevance and significance of this matter.
